Out of character? Hard to say, as it was Mariota’s first game in the league.

Next opponent? The Browns, who had the best pass defense of 2014, according to Pro Football Focus, but were hammered by the Jets last week.

Experts? Still being cautious with the rookie; he is ranked the 21st quarterback for Week 2. “I expect Mariota to have a much tougher time in Week 2 against the Browns secondary,” said Justin Sablich, one of The Times’s fantasy experts.

Conclusion: Mariota’s memorable debut was simply too huge to have much chance to be repeated, unless he really is the second coming of Joe Montana.

Carlos Hyde, 49ers:168 rushing yards against the Vikings.

Sustainable? Yes. Rushers ran for 168 yards or more nine times last year.

Out of character? Definitely. Hyde ran for 333 yards total in 14 games last season, his rookie year.

Next opponent? The Steelers, who could provide a sterner test than Minnesota.

Experts? Hyde has vaulted up to eighth among running backs.

Conclusion: Hyde is probably for real, though 168 yards is a lot to ask.

Next opponent? The Vikings, who looked very shaky against a Niners team supposedly in disarray.

Experts? He is rated 16th in the league in the Times fantasy rankings, but that is based on rushing and receiving only. Abdullah racked up 105 of his yards on three returns. “If the Lions are smart, they’ll exploit the Vikings’ weak run defense with a run-heavy game plan that continues to incorporate Abdullah in the short-passing game,” Sablich said.

Conclusion: Abdullah’s rushing and receiving yardage totals are easily attainable again, and if he breaks a return or two, he should have the best chance of all of these leaders to match his big Week 1 total.
